The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness; but if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even if we are living in the very best conditions. This is important to know, because all around Seattle we can find nice conditions and enjoyments, but we are not always happy or enjoying them. We can change the situation by changing our mind.
If we train in meditation, our mind will gradually become more and more peaceful, and we will experience a purer and purer form of happiness. Eventually, we will be able to stay happy all the time, even in the most difficult circumstances. Join us, and learn how to use meditation to enjoy yourself more and experience greater peace and happiness.
